Relevant To: ALPR presentation (August) — direct BPA advocacy citation
Verification Status: Verified
Notes: Reports that Bend City Council committed to a public vote and comment period on the proposed stationary ALPR contract add-on, after Mayor Melanie Kebler responded to public comment citing The Source’s own reporting on the matter — a direct example of BPA-adjacent press coverage influencing a public process outcome. Migrated from the existing Bend Surveillance Oversight source library.
